Indeed does sound like a pump issue, but you may want to try running some injector cleaner first, just to try the "cheap" thing first - my wife's Equinox was having rough starts similar to what you're describing, and two rounds of Techron later she hasn't had an issue for months now.

I'll second the injector cleaner. Was having starting problems after sitting for nearly a year and a half. Stale gas etc. Dumped in a bottle of Slick50 and filled up my gas tank. Took the truck for a short cruise on I94 and haven't had a problem since.
